5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, June 1, 2003

By	R. David Buccola II (San Bernardino, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Buddhist Critique of the Christian Concept of God (Paperback)

This book is simply amazing. It's a must read for any Buddhist or non-Christian who has ever been verbally attacked by a zealous Christian. And it's an important book for Christians to read because while it may not convince them that their deity does not exist, it may help them understand why the majority of humans reject their concept of god. Mr. Dharmasiri is brilliant in his analysis and understanding of the Christian concept of god, and he goes to great lengths to illustrate the irrational nature of such belief. Furthermore, Mr. Dharmasiri does all this in the compassionate and understanding way that has always been a halmark of Buddhist debate. He does not ridicule or belittle. I really hope more people take the time to read this book.

The only problem with the book is that it's hard to find. The only place I know where you can obtain a copy is in Sri Lanka at the Buddhist Publication Society.

3.0 out of 5 stars routine academic droning, May 30, 2008

By	R. Harrison (Alachua County, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Buddhist Critique of the Christian Concept of God (Paperback)

This is a very academic book, full of footnotes and allusions to other academic writers. It is neither vigorous nor easy to read -- in other words, not what you would hope to find in a book with this title.
